Ford Fiesta Blog

Whilst doing my usual looking around the internet i found the following Ford Fiesta XR2i on Piston Heads.

Diamond White Fiesta XR2i

What I love about this particular model is how good it still looks despite being nearl 20 years old.  I am really liking the white colour scheme something I wish I had gone for on my current Fiesta ST when I purchased it.

This Diamond white example is a real gem having only covered 78,000 miles and no rust in sight the £1,500 price tag seems very reasonable.
